<p>LOS ANGELES (AP) - Some leading men would balk at playing a goofy villain in a family film but Alec Baldwin loved being bad. In "Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat," the actor stars as the potbellied Larry Quinn, foil to Mike Myers' mischievous feline.</p>

Right joins left to denounce the Patriot Act. At a hotel in the suburbs of Washington Sunday, conservative leaders Grover Norquist and David Keene joined forces with some of the most bitter and determined foes of the Bush White House to denounce the administration's main law-enforcement tool in the war on terrorism, the Patriot Act. Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform, and Keene, of the American Conservative Union, joined actor Alec Baldwin and People for the American Way president Ralph Neas as part of a conference called "Grassroots America Defends the Bill of Rights." The conference featured seminars designed...

 

<p>Democratic activist and actor Alec Baldwin remains in the United States, despite promising to leave the country if George W. Bush was elected president in 2000.</p> <p>This afternoon, Mr. Baldwin will be on Capitol Hill telling Mr. Bush and anybody else who will listen that the Humane Slaughter Act, signed into law in 1958 by Dwight D. Eisenhower and made tougher by former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, is not being enforced in the nation's slaughterhouses and factory farms.</p>

Nonfamous Dreamin' I saved this one for last, so absolutely no groans permitted, understand? My main man, Alec Baldwin, of Patriot Games fallout fame, bashing-photographer infamy and Basinger-splitsville notoriety, felt like a java last week. Stopped by the Starbucks in the San Fernando Valley. On Ventura, to be more precise. And while waiting in line, Mr. B. noticed the CD Ray Charles: Artists Choice for sale. Well, you know those coffeehouse wallet-gouging ways, don't you? As long as they're charging a mini fortune for a friggin' cuppa joe, why not make a further green dent for the home entertainment center,...

While watching TNT's "Framed" Sunday night I saw a promo for a new Alec Baldwin tv movie that would also be on TNT very soon. Name of the movie is "Second Nature" and from the promo it looked as if it was a third rate ripoff of Robert Ludlum's "The Bourne Identity". Baldwin looks pretty Beefy in the role. It will be direct to video as soon as it is shown. We can hope this is the only kind of work poor Alec will get from now on. I would say his career is going downhill rapidly. How long will...

Alec Baldwin's guestbook is up and running.

Acting Patriotic We often hear from the "anti-war" crowd that "dissent is what America is all about." That by protesting against the war, they are not "unpatriotic," rather, they are the "true patriots." Not to mention the pat on the back they give to themselves because of their "bravery." Bravery has many definitions, "The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it." – Thucydides. More to the point, "Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless...

More and more celebrities using fame to back causes 12/26/2002 Associated Press NEW YORK - From the moment Sean Penn arrived in Baghdad, eager to advance the cause of peace, he was doomed - a dead man talking. He was a celebrity, like so many other celebrities who have waded into the treacherous waters of politics or international relations. So he walked gingerly - he was there, he said, "to learn and not to teach." He avoided reporters. And he was careful not to say or do anything that would cause a meltdown at home. So the Iraqis did...

I was totally enthralled with the performance of Barbra Streisand in the 1973 movie, "The Way We Were." Before that her '68 performance in "Funny Girl" was classic. But her performance lately on the political stage has not been one of her best roles. She's been a real disappointment. Julia Roberts was everybody's "sweetheart" in Steel Magnolias, and after that I didn't want to miss a single movie. But when she entered the political arena saying, "Bush is not my candidate . . . the word 'Republican' in the dictionary comes between 'reptile and repugnant,'" my respect for her acting...

  The Campaign to Control America's VoteLiberal Group Leads Fight Against Bush Judicial Nominees and School ChoiceBy Patrick J. ReillySummary: Texas Supreme Court Justice Priscilla Owen is the latest victim of People for the American Way's campaign against President Bush's judicial nominees. On September 5, the Senate Judiciary Committee in a 10-9 party-line vote rejected her nomination to the Fifth Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals. When the electronic voting machines introduced in last month's Florida primary elections failed to correct the voting irregularities that appeared during the state's 2000 presidential election, People for the American Way (PFAW)...

Pals of Kim Basinger are blaming the actress's chronic back problems on her ex-husband Alec Baldwin's alleged violence. The L.A. Confidential star, who was married to Baldwin for nine years, underwent surgery in August to remove slipped discs and fuse together damaged vertebrae in her lower back. And according to American tabloid the Star, friends of the 48-year-old beauty claim Baldwin was shockingly violent to her during their union, leading to the injuries. Baldwin has always denied he was ever violent towards Basinger. A source says, "She claims he hit her more than once. And there were many instances when...

Actor Alec Baldwin showed up at a Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor party fund-rayet another attempt to milk an opportunity to launch his hoped for political career and got roundly booed by a herd of Dairy State protesters. The New York Post's Page Six reports that protestors braved a downpour to stand outside and chant "Deport Baldwin" and "Baldwin and PETA - udderly ridiculous," a reference to his efforts on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to outlaw milk, not exactly a theme designed to endear the former movie star to the state's dairy farmers. Speaking at the fund raiser...

<p>Minnesota politics took an edgy turn Saturday night when Republicans staged an in-your-face protest outside the Fine Line Cafe in downtown Minneapolis, where Hollywood celebrity Alec Baldwin appeared at a DFL fundraiser for gubernatorial candidate Roger Moe and U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone.</p>

P*E*T*A*B has been established by those who love to laugh at morons, for those who love to laugh at morons. P*E*T*A*B also engages in an effot to convince people to stop telling Alec Baldwin to shut up, and instead to thank Alec for doing more to forward the conservative political agenda than any "right-winger" possibly could. In his honor, I wrote two columns, most recently this one at WorldNetDaily. Part I was written back in March and is at Toogood Reports.

<p>The Executive Director of the Republican State Committee says he'll buy actor Alec Baldwin a one-way ticket to Paris on September 12th, the day the activist is set to headline a Democratic fundraiser in Camden County.  Mike DuHaime says he's referring to Baldwin's two-year old promise to leave the United States if George W. Bush won the presidential election.</p>
